| The Select Data Source window allows the selection of a data source for a system monitor. Each system monitor needs to have exactly one data source configured to make sure which performance data has to be displayed by the monitor.
|
|
|
| For a better overview, the possible data sources are categorized. Possible categories are for example: Processor, Physical Data Storage Devices or Process. Available categories and data sources vary from system to system, depending on the operating system and installed system components.
|
|
|
| The categories contain the data sources. For example, the System category contains a data source Bytes read/s.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Expand or collapse categories by clicking the + or - signs in front of the category names. By selecting a data source, the window's quickhelp area will display additional information on the selected data source. For example, the description of this data source is "Amount of read Bytes from read accesses in the file system by all periferic devices [...]".
|
|
|
| There are also some sub-partitioned data sources. These data sources contain so called instances of data source. For example, specific data can be displayed in sum for the whole system (This instance is usually labeled _Total), or for a specific system component. This can be a hardware component (i.e. one of the processors of a multi-processor machine, a specific hard drive or port). It can also be a process or thread currently running, that can be inspected seperately this way.

|
| Again, the instances of such a data source can be expanded or collapsed by clicking the + or - signs in front of the source names. In the example, the User Time of a certain Thread of the AB-Clock Process is displayed.
